ARTIX Ships MMORPG Adventurequest Worlds

Artix Entertainment, creators of
online, browser-based, role-playing games written for Macromedia Flash, today
announced the release of AdventureQuest Worlds, its first 100% browser-based
MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

Widely known in the RPG fantasy
sci-fi adventure world with over 60 million accounts created for their existing
games during the past five years, Artix Entertainment believes its fan base will
welcome their entry into the world of MMORPGs.

“Our Beta testers’ positive
responses indicate our move into MMOs was the right decision,” says Daniel
Vasile, Business Development Manager of Artix Entertainment. “We’re especially
excited that AdventureQuest Worlds may be the first MMO developed by a small,
family-owned game development studio. Our project shows MMO developers and
players worldwide that a small, truly dedicated team can create a quality
browser-based MMOG without spending millions of dollars.”

AdventureQuest Worlds, based on
their first hit RPG AdventureQuest, provides players with exciting adventures
battling armies of monsters in real-time combat and enjoying new weekly quests
alongside thousands of other real players. Players can customize their
characters with armors, capes, helms, and custom-crafted weapons from the
Blacksmith’s Shop at any level. Players have the freedom to change among
different character classes at any time, and can level-up all of the classes to
the max to unlock new skills and specialty shops along the way.

Players have access to in-game,
real-time chat, and can also communicate with the AdventureQuest Worlds
development team on message forums to help shape the future of the game, reveal
their adventures, and share their gaming experiences.

“One of the hallmarks of Artix’s
games which our gamers anticipate is our commitment to weekly updates,” Vasile
continued. “AdventureQuest Worlds players can walk around and fully explore a
fun and magical world which is expanded every week. We’re proud of our
consistent track record of listening to our players and responding quickly to
their input, and we will provide that same level of response time in our
MMORPG.”
